Thanks for the great advice Wings and Capio. Beleieve me I have been doing my work on deciding which trainer to buy. I have read many articles on many trainers from the avistar, LT-40 to the nexSTAR. I made my decision and in a few days I will be buying my first trainer.....the Hobbico nexSTAR trainer. I love all the features it comes with from garentee success flight, warantee if your with an instructer, self stabalizing capab., the flight simulator, and the radio and engine can be used in my next plane. I like the ability to be able to lower the Active flight stabilization untill its not used anymore, I also have the ability to remove the speedbreak training flaps to give it a little more zip. Of course lowering the active flight stab. and removing the speedbreaks wont be for a couple of months. I am getting the plane and the basic field equip and fuel for around 440 minus the small amount for lessons and joining AMA so thats not too bad at all. I cant wait till I can start on my Sig Rascal....but I gotta take it slow and easy. Ill be flying solo soon hopefully!
